Dear Friends in Karate,
I am hereby delighted to invite all of you to the 40th Karate Canada National Championships,
which will once again be held in the beautiful city of Richmond, BC from January 30 to
February 1st, 2015. This very important event also marks over 50 years of excellence in
Canadian karate, as our Organization has indeed now been in existence for over half a
century!
Our Canadian National Championships of course constitute a yearly gathering for hundreds
of athletes and coaches from across the nation, and it provides them with the opportunity
to measure their skills against one another, while fully embracing and upholding the
fundamental values of sports excellence, friendship and respect which are at the very heart of
Canadian karate.
Over the course of these National Championships, our nation’s very best will showcase
their exceptional abilities and know-how, displaying the very highest level of karate which
our country has to offer. It will also constitute an important step in the selection of our
nation’s finest, for ulterior representation on the international stage. As 2015 will also be
the year when Canada hosts the 2015 Senior Pan Am Championships as well as the 2015 Pan
American Games (in Toronto), the 2015 National Championships are uniquely important and
particularly significant.
On behalf of Karate Canada, I wish to thank Karate BC for its important contribution to the
successful hosting of this event. I also wish to salute not only the relentless and admirable
dedication of our athletes and coaches, but also that of our numerous volunteers, and
especially the generous contribution of our Canadian referees and officials, without whom
this event would not be possible.
Finally, I wish the best of luck to all participants, and I look forward to seeing all of you again
very soon!
Sincerely,
Dragan Kljenak
President

2015 N ATIONAL C HAMPIONSHIPS
Dear members of the Karate Canada family,
Welcome to the 2015 Karate Canada National Championships here in
beautiful British Columbia.
Karate BC and the Province of British Columbia are honored to be cohosting this prestigious event with Karate Canada, and we look forward to
seeing you in action.
As many of you found in 2012 and in 2014, the City of Richmond is a safe and
convenient location for the three days of competition, and the Richmond
Olympic Oval is an awesome venue.
Karate tournaments provide a means to demonstrate your skills and
achievements and the athletes and their coaches who are spending
considerable time and effort in preparing for this level of competition
deserve a big thank you.
My sincerest gratitude to everyone who is working to make this event a
success and to the officials who dedicate so much of their time to ensure
the continued growth of karate-do. This event would not be possible without
your support.
I wish you all a safe competition and the best of luck.
In harmony,
Charles La Vertu
President

All participants must be members in good standing of their provincial or territorial karate Associations and
Teams, and participants may only be pre-registered online through their PSO or TSO’s Team Manager or
designated representative.
All participating athletes must also be Canadian Citizens or permanent residents (landed immigrants).
Participating athletes must bring proof of citizenship (current valid Canadian passport or birth certificate) or
permanent resident status (official permanent resident card) with them, and may be asked to provide such
proof upon request.
KUMITE:
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRANTS PER KUMITE DIVISION:
Each Province/Territory is permitted to send a maximum of two (2) competitors per individual division,
excluding all National and International status-holding athletes (in all divisions, as long as they register to
compete in the same division, when applicable – see full list of current National and International statusholding athletes in Appendix 2). Additionally, each Province / Territory may register extra athletes in either
kata or kumite according to their Wildcard allocation (see APPENDIX 7).
Please note: All current Junior and Senior National Team kumite athletes must participate as members of
their respective Provincial / Territorial Teams, in both individual and team divisions, and must have qualified
according to their provincial / territorial requirements.
TEAM KUMITE:
Each Province/Territory is permitted to send a maximum of one (1) Senior Team in the Team Kumite division.
As was the case last year, Karate Canada will continue to accept registration and participation of “Regional
Teams” in Team Kumite, on top of the Provincial / Territorial Teams. This will allow for grouping and gathering
of athletes from neighbouring Provinces for participation in Team Kumite as Regional Teams. The breakdown
of eligible regions will be as follows:
• ➢
• ➢
Atlantic Provinces (1 Team):
Can be made up of athletes from Newfoundland / Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island
and New Brunswick
Western / Central Canada (1 Team):
Can be made up of athletes from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba
(As Ontario and Quebec historically bring larger pools of athletes to National Championships, they do
not seem to need to join with any other Provinces to assemble their kumite teams at this time.
Every Province may of course continue to register kumite teams made up simply of its own athletes if
it chooses to, on top or instead of Regional Teams.)
p.6
All Provincial / Terrirtorial Team Kumite Registration must be done online via SportData by January 12th, 2015.
Please note, however, that changes in the composition of team kumite rosters will exceptionally be accepted
until the very start of the Team Kumite competition, without incurring any change or administrative fees
(Team Coaches are asked to advise us of any such changes by email until January 29th, inclusively, and in
person at the event’s Head Table once the tournament has begun).
REGISTRATION OF REGIONAL TEAMS:
Provinces and Regions may register Regional Teams for the Team Kumite competition by simply sending an
email to: [email protected], containing all necessary information, by January 12th, 2015.
Selection of such teams will be left entirely to the Provincial Coaches of these regions, who must decide
amongst themselves whether they wish to take advantage of such an opportunity, and who will make up
such teams. When providing the information for registration of such Regional Kumite Teams by email, please
indicate the names of the athletes on these Regional Kumite Teams, along with the name of the Coach in
charge of each team. Karate Canada will then proceed with online registration of these teams on your behalf,
and the designated Coach will be responsible to provide payment of registration fees for these teams at
accreditation (ID Pick up) prior to the start of competition in Richmond (BC). We also ask that the Provincial
Team Coaches of all provincial teams within the concerned region be cc’d on any such email. Please note that
Karate Canada will only accept up to a maximum of 1 Western and 1 Eastern Regional Kumite Teams, so it is
imperative that coaches of the Provinces in these regions reach a common agreement before submitting
names for registration of their Regional Kumite Teams.
KATA:
Cadet/Junior Team Kata Division:
Cadet and Junior Team Kata competition are merged into one age division for 14-17 year olds (male and
female competitors remain in separate divisions).
Under 21 (U21) Divisions:
Athletes aged 18, 19 and 20 years old may compete in individual events in both U21 as well
as team senior divisions.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ENTRANTS PER KATA DIVISION:
p.7
INDIVIDUAL KATA DIVISIONS:
Each Province/Territory is permitted to send a maximum of three (3) competitors per individual kata division,
excluding all National and International status-holding athletes (in all divisions, as long as they register to
compete in the same division, when applicable – see full list of current National and International statusholding athletes in Appendix 2).
Additionally, each Province / Territory may register extra athletes in either kata or kumite according to their
Wildcard allocation (see Appendix 7).
TEAM KATA DIVISIONS:
Each Province/Territory is permitted to send a maximum of one (1) team kata per age division
(Combined Cadet/Junior and Senior).
***IMPORTANT: 2015 membership fees from each Provincial / Territorial Association must have been paid in
full prior to the start of competition, in order for individual participant registrations of athletes and coaches
from that Province / Territory to be considered valid.
Please note that all participating athletes must be Canadian Citizens or permanent residents (landed
immigrants). Participating athletes must bring proof of citizenship (current valid Canadian passport or birth
certificate) or permanent resident status (official permanent resident card) with them, and may be asked to
provide such proof upon request.
All participating Coaches must be at least Comp Intro-trained or (old) Level 2-certified in the NCCP
(National Coaching Certification Program). Any higher level of training or certification (such as Comp
Dev) will of course also be considered as valid. Karate Canada will verify all coach NCCP credentials and
records via The Locker (the Coaching Association of Canada’s online database) after the registration deadline,
and prior to the start of competition.

COMPETITION RULES
The rules used at this event will be modified current WKF Competition rules (version 9.0; see “Officiating”
section in the “Documents” tab of Karate Canada’s official website www.karatecanada.org for a summary of
applicable Canadian Amendments to WKF competition rules.). The latest version of WKF competition rules
- version 9.0 – (available in the “Documents” tab of the Karate Canada website) will apply at the 2015 National
Championships, unless specified otherwise in the documents mentioned above and in this (and /or future
versions of this) bulletin.
Please note, however, that Karate Canada will, as is customary, allow athletes to perform Chito-Ryu katas in
the kata competition portion of the event.
TIE-BREAKING FOR KUMITE MATCHES:
For all kumite divisions at the 2015 National Championships, Karate Canada will use simple Hantei (decision)
to break ties, if required, after the regular match duration, and in order to determine the winner, in
accordance with current WKF rules (with no enchosen or overtime).
ELIMINATION FORMAT:
IMPORTANT: Please note that a DOUBLE ELIMINATION format will be used in all individual
kumite categories for this event (see Appendix 3 for an example of this type of draw), thus
ensuring that each participant gets to participate in at least 2 matches (unless disqualified in
a fashion which would prevent further bouts). As a result, there will be no repechage tree and
only one bronze medal per division will be awarded in all individual kumite divisions.
Karate Canada will use WKF-style repechage in all Team Kumite and in all (Team and Individual) Kata divisions.
p.14
SEEDING:
All National and International status-holding athletes as well as all silver medalists from the 2014 National
Championships (if competing in the same category in the 2015 National Championships) will be seeded in the draw.
Seeding will be allocated as follows (in decreasing order of priority):
1-
2-
3-
4-
5-
International A Status-Holders, if any**
International B Status-Holders, if any**
International C Status-Holders, if any**
National A Status-Holders, if any**
2014 National championship silver medalist in that category
(**=If more than one athlete holds an identical International Status on January 28th, 2015, the athletes with
the highest number of ranking points will be seeded higher than athletes holding an identical status but
holding less ranking points; the same will apply if more than one athlete holds a National status in any given
division. If two athletes have the same status and exact same number of points, they will be seeded at
random, higher than athletes with less points and lower than athletes with more points or higher statuses.)
Please note:
Karate Canada will recognize any valid status earned by U21 athletes within the year preceding the 2015
National Championships (in the original or “old” divisions), at the time of that competition, for whichever
division the status-holding athlete now chooses to register and to compete in at these 2015 National
Championships (for registration and for seeding of divisions, as applicable), and for ulterior National Team
selection purposes in the case of valid international status.

Introduction
Following the recent meeting of PSOs and a meeting of the Board of Directors of Karate Canada, it has
been decided that the Travel Cost Share program as it was in place last year was to be discontinued. Various
options were looked at and the Board endorsed the recommendation of the PSOs to implement a new Cost
Share program that will equate to providing a subsidy payment to travellers that are paying more than a
predetermined average cost. The subsidy would be paid from a fund created by contributions from local
participants in the Nationals who do not require air travel. The following sets out the parameters of this new
Travel Program as approved by the Executive Committee and by the Finance Committee.
Payment to the Travel Fund
Participants taking part in the 2015 National Championships who do not require to travel by air to Richmond
(BC), will pay an amount of $200 each to a travel subsidy fund that will be managed by Karate Canada. Karate
BC will communicate this requirement to its participants, will collect the required payment from these
participants and will submit the payment to Karate Canada by January 9th, 2015.
Payment of Subsidy
Participants taking part in the 2015 National Championships who travel by air to Richmond (BC), may or
may not be entitled to a subsidy payment from the travel fund. The subsidy payment will be available to
participants for whom the total airfare cost is greater than $600.The subsidy amount to be paid to eligible
participants will be calculated on a prorated calculation of the total airfare paid by all eligible participants
and the available travel fund.
Eligible participants wishing to receive a travel subsidy will be required to:
• Purchase their air ticket within 3 weeks of their last provincial qualifier, and no later than
December 24, 2014
• Purchase an economy class ticket at the “lowest logical airfare” (see definition below)
• Submit a claim for subsidy payment to Karate Canada no later than January 9th, 2015, using
the applicable request form (PDF here via Internet) along with a copy of the itinerary/invoice.
Lowest logical airfare is defined as the airfare associated with the least costly economy class travel option
while respecting the following parameters
• Routing requires no more than two stops each way of a round trip
• Routing does not increase the one-way total elapsed trip time by more than 3 hours
Participants
The participants in the Travel Program will include the Athletes, provincial coaches, officials
and delegates in the National Championships.
12-13 year old athletes from BC taking part in the Youth Cup test event are excluded but
the 12-13 year old athletes from the other provinces will be eligible to the travel subsidy
KC staff, delegates and others for whom airfare is paid by Karate Canada are excluded.

“WILDCARD” SYSTEM
FOR PROVINCIAL / TERRITORIAL TEAMS AT THE
2015 KARATE CANADA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Please note Karate Canada’s member Provinces / Territories will once again receive an allocation of wildcards
directly related to the size of the teams which they register for the event.
This “Wildcard” system helps address several potential issues, such as teams from provinces with larger
populations which may have three or four of the nation’s top performers in one division, for instance. It will also
allow top performing athletes who move from one province / territory to another mid-selection process, or top
performing athletes who were forced to miss crucial provincial / territorial selection events due to injury or due to
the demands of the international calendar, to have an avenue for entry into the National Championships that may
otherwise have been closed to them.
This in no way affects the selection process that PSOs / TSOs have adopted for the selection of their teams leading
up to the 2015 National Championships, as it is simply an additional option which offers more flexibility to the
provinces / territories, as well as the opportunity to register additional athletes whom these PSOs / TSOs feel
could be strong contenders at National Championships and / or may largely benefit from participation in this event.
ALLOCATION RATIOS:
Wildcard allocations will be as follows:
Team Size
Wildcards
<25
athletes
2 entries
25-50
athletes
3 entries
51-75
athletes
4 entries
76-100
athletes
5 entries
>100
athletes
6 entries
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
Selection of athletes to be registered at National Championships through the “Wildcard” system will be left to
the discretion of each PSO / TSO; however all PSOs / TSOs will be expected to abide by the following minimum
requirements for the registration of “wildcarded” athletes.
In order to register one or several athlete(s) in the 2015 National Championships as (a) “wildcard(s)”, a PSO /
TSO must submit the name(s) and division (category) of the athlete(s) (up to the maximum number of athletes
allowed, as per the team’s quota allocation above – one entry counts as one ‘wildcard”) to Karate Canada (by mail
or email) no later than January 5th, 2015, along with a written confirmation that each of these athletes meets at
least one of the following 3 criteria:
-the athlete has placed 3rd in the final rankings of the 2014-2015 provincial / territorial team
selections in that individual kumite division (excluding 2014 National Champions and National
and / or International Status holders). Or the athlete has placed 4th in the final rankings of the
2014-2015 provincial / territorial team selections in that individual kata division (excluding 2014
National Champions and National and / or International Status holders),
OR
... (continued)
p.35
APPENDIX 7
(continued) ...
OR
-the athlete has placed 4th in the final rankings of the 2014-2015 provincial / territorial
team selections in that individual kumite division excluding 2014 National Champions
and National and / or International Status holders), and the 3rd place athlete in the same
division has previously been offered the wild card and has declined it. Or the athlete has
placed 5th in the final rankings of the 2014-2015 provincial / territorial team selections in
that individual kata division (excluding 2014 National Champions and National and / or
International Status holders), and the 4th place athlete in the same division has previously
been offered the wild card and has declined it;
OR
-the athlete was a medalist in the same division at the 2014 National Championships.
(Please note: Nominations of “wildcards” falling outside the Criteria listed above may
exceptionally be considered, on a case per case basis, but the spirit of the Criteria listed
above will be respected in approving or rejecting such nominations.)
Athletes who are members in good standing with their PSO / TSO, who meet at least
one of the three criteria listed above and whose names are submitted to Karate Canada
by the appropriate PSO / TSO authority (President, Executive Director or Team Head
Coach) no later than January 5th, 2015 will be eligible to compete at the 2015 National
Championships. Karate Canada will review all submitted wildcard nominations and will
confirm approval of these nominations no later than January 9th, 2015.
*** Please note that the PSOs / TSOs must also register approved wildcards online
via SportData by the January 12th deadline.

course also be considered as valid. Karate Canada will verify all coach NCCP credentials and records via The

the start of competition.
AGE EGIBILITY
All participants in the 2015 Karate Canada Youth Cup must be either 12 or 13 years of age on the
first day of competition (January 30th, 2015), and must therefore be born between February 2nd,
2001 and January 30th 2003 inclusively. There will be no exceptions.
***IMPORTANT: 13 year old athletes registered in any Cadet division at the 2015 National Championships MAY
NOT register in the Youth Cup as well within the same discipline (kata or kumite). This event is reserved
for development of 12-13 year old athletes; should an athlete already be of the required level to compete
in Cadet divisions, he / she will not be eligible to compete in the Youth Cup in the same discipline (kata or
kumite). Athletes may, however, compete in both events, as long as it is in different disciplines (kata in one
event and kumite in the other).
All participating athletes and coaches must be pre-registered online through the SportData website, at:
WWW.SPORTDATA.ORG
Opening of Online Registration: November 24th, 2014
Registration deadline: January 12th, 2015 **
***Please note:
1. This event will be listed, on Sport Data, separately from the 2015 National Championships, and Team Managers must register
the participating athletes and Coaches separately.
2. So as to ensure the divisions are as full and as competitive as possible, once the first wave of registrations is complete
(by January 12th), Karate Canada may open up registration again to Karate BC athletes, for a few days, should there remain
many vacant spots in the different divisions. After this second wave of registrations, Karate Canada may re-open registration
a third time to all Provincial / Territorial Teams. For these additional (2nd and 3rd) waves of registration, teams may register
athletes in excess of the originally allowed quota (1st wave) of 2 athletes per team per division. All information pertaining to this
process will be emailed directly to Provincial / Territorial Team Managers, Coaches, staff and Presidents.)

section in the “Documents” tab of Karate Canada’s official website www.karatecanada.org for a summary of
applicable Canadian Amendments to WKF competition rules.). The latest version of WKF competition rules
- version 9.0 – (available in the “Documents” tab of the Karate Canada website) will apply at the 2015 Youth
Cup, unless specified otherwise in the documents mentioned above and in this (and /or future versions of
this) bulletin.

APPENDIX 8
TIE-BREAKING FOR KUMITE MATCHES:
For all kumite divisions at the 2015 Youth Cup, Karate Canada will use simple Hantei (decision) to break ties, if
required, after the regular match duration, and in order to determine the winner, in accordance with current
WKF rules (with no enchosen or overtime).
ELIMINATION FORMAT:
IMPORTANT: Please note that a DOUBLE ELIMINATION format will be used in all individual
kumite categories at the Youth Cup (see Appendix 3 for an example of this type of draw), thus
ensuring that each participant gets to participate in at least 2 matches (unless disqualified in a
fashion which would prevent further bouts). As a result, there will be no repechage tree and
only one bronze medal per division will be awarded in all individual kumite divisions.
Karate Canada will use WKF-style repechage in all Kata divisions.
SEEDING:
There will be no seeding of athletes in the Youth Cup draws, and all participating athletes will be placed at
random in their given division’s draw.
KUMITE MATCH DURATION:
